Remarks. — JJshes little inquiry. Cotton active, with sa.es at 
an advance of one-eighth. Flour steady. Grain , except in rye, 
the sales are dull. Molasses in fair request. Naval Stores the 
same. Beef and Pork firm, with an increased demand. Rice 
active. Seeds dull. Sugar a slight advance. Tobacco in mode¬ 
rate request. Wool considerable sales. 
Money continues fairly abundant at 7 per cent. 
Stocks are steady, with few fluctuations. 
The Weather has been very hot most of the past month, but 
has now changed to cool and showery. Hay has been a very 
large crop, though owing to the heavy rains, not as well secured 
as usual. The small grains have turned out well, except in 
Western New York, and a few other districts, where the wheat 
is much rusted and shrunk. Corn is a great crop. Potatoes are 
badly rotting in most parts of the country. Cotton is backward, 
and at best a moderate crop only can be gathered. Rice has 
come in well. Sugar and Tobacco generally are looking well. 
Upon the whole, we can congratulate the farmers and planters 
upon more than an average production of the crops thus far, this 
season. 
To Correspondents. —Communications have been received 
from Alexander McDonald, John Lewis, Win. Murdock, L. T. 
Talbot, J. C An Amateur Gardener, and A Summer Resi¬ 
dent of East Jersey. 
The Editor of the Maine Cultivator is informed that we know 
of no pure Cheviot Sheep short of Wisconsin, and that these are 
held at a high figure. Improved Cheviots always command high 
prices in Scotland, say from 5 to 20 guineas each. 
In answer to J. B. of Annapolis, concerning “ Destroying the 
Wheat Fly,” quoted from the Quebec Gazette, in our last No., 
he is right in supposing that orpiment is the auri-pigmentum of 
old chemists, or the suiphuret of arsenic, of the moderns. We pre¬ 
sume it is meant that the burning of this article should be on the 
windward side of a field of wheat, at a yard or two distant, in 
order to drive the insects away. 
PLEASE TO TAKE NOTICE, 
That Mr. C. W. Hubbell is no longer authorized to take sub¬ 
scriptions for the American Agriculturist, and that the authority 
given by the publishers, Saxton & Miles, is hereby revoked. All 
persons are forbid paying the said Hubbell any monies for this 
paper hereafter.
